Prosciutto, Rosemary, & Parmesan Savory Scones

·

Tender, light, and flaky - every bite of our Prosciutto, Rosemary, & Parmesan Savory Scones is like a little bite of Heaven! Unlike your typical scones, these are made with extra virgin olive oil (a healthier fat that promotes a healthy heart).

The extra virgin olive oil still adds lots of richness, texture, and flavor. I actually had someone test try these scones prior to shooting them, and they asked me if they were made with butter! I said no! But definitely ran with it that these were a good-to-go recipe, that I'm sure many of you will love!

What is the difference between scones and biscuits?

For years, I was very confused on what was the key difference between scones and biscuits. Both were tender on the inside, flaky on the outside - typically scones were sweeter and biscuits more savory. SO I did some digging to find out that it's all in the milk and eggs being used.

Typically, a good ol' southern biscuit will be made with buttermilk, which is more acidic, allowing it to be extra fluffy and flaky - giving it those beautiful wrinkles on the sides.

On the other hand, a scone is typically made with more dense, richer ingredients like heavy cream and whole eggs to make it more like a pastry that is crumbly yet still tender inside. However, we've cracked the code to making our Prosciutto, Rosemary, & Parmesan Savory Scones without the need for heavier ingredients - we simple rely on your everyday, wholesome ingredients to keep things a little more on the lighter side.

Now, it's time to grab our aprons and begin baking deliciousness!
